Details and the cause of death of a 70-year-old woman have been released weeks after she died after riding Universal Orlando’s Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster.
A woman became unresponsive while riding an indoor attraction on Nov. 25, 2025, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).
She was identified Thursday as Ma de la Luz Mejia Rosas, according to the office of human rights lawyer Ben Crump, who said in a statement that she was being held by her family.
Rosas was taken to a nearby hospital after losing consciousness while walking, and died Dec. 9 at Orlando Regional Medical Center of a ruptured aneurysm without trauma, according to a report from the Orange County Medical Examiner’s office obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

“Ms. Rosas went to the park to enjoy time with her children and grandchildren, expecting a safe and fun experience. Instead, her family is now left grieving and looking for answers,” Crump said in a statement. “They should fully understand what happened before, during, and after this trip.”
Crump added that he will “investigate more fully the circumstances surrounding this tragedy and make sure his family’s voice is heard.”
Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor roller coaster based on the popular films “The Mummy” and “The Mummy Returns”. It reaches speeds of up to 45 mph.

There have been 21 reported incidents on the ride ranging from nausea and dizziness to seizures and broken vertebrae since the attraction opened in 2004, according to data included in the FDACS report.
The FDACS report lists incidents per quarter at amusement parks that employ full-time security inspectors. Those parks are required to self-report incidents because they are exempt from state inspections.
The report also said that during the period from October to December 2025, six health-related incidents were reported at Walt Disney World, while no incidents were reported at other major Florida parks, including SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Legoland.

Rosas’ death comes months after Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, 32, died after a crash at the Stardust Racers race at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe park on Sept. 17. Zavala suffered multiple injuries and died at the hospital, authorities said.
Attorneys for Zavala’s family argued that Universal ignored “numerous” warning signs before his death, saying the incident was “an isolated incident” and that other passengers had reported similar injuries in the same area.
Crump, who also represented Zavala’s family, said last month that an amicable settlement had been reached between Universal and the family. The terms of the agreement are confidential.
